Peering into the leaves of the Staghorn Sumac, it looks like it could be out of a rainforest, but the truth is that it's a common primary succession shrub that grows in temperate zones; very romantic, eh?
One would assume that these feathery red clusters that grow up toward the sky would be the flowers, but incidentally, they are the seeds, the flowers are white and delicate. The birds generally don't eat the seeds until winter, so they must not be a very tasty.
Looking down into the whorl of compound leaves growing off the branch, the colors jump out at me: a rainbow from red to purple meets my artist's eye. But artist beware: the whitish sap of this shrub can cause an allergic reaction to sensitive skin, best to just photograph and be gone.

Major General John Reynolds served as commander of the Union I, III and XI Corps at the Battle of Gettysburg. Brigadier General John Buford's cavalry also under the command of Reynolds, would be the first to reach Gettysburg on June 30, 1863.
Buford, realizing the strategic importance in protecting the heights south of Gettysburg, set up defensive lines north and west of town. He sent note to Reynolds that he would defend the heights from the approaching Confederates until the infantry could arrive. As the Confederates attacked on July 1, Buford and his men fought valiantly until Reynolds arrived with infantry support hours later.
As the ranking officer, Reynolds quickly assumed command and was able to position his troops hastily to defend against the attacks. The Confederates boldly attacked not realizing the Union lines had been reinforced and suffered heavy casualties. Around 10:30am while positioning troops from the Iron Brigade, Reynolds was shot through the neck by and died instantly. There is debate as to how Reynolds died and by what hands, but it is generally believed he was killed by a Confederate sharpshooter.
Confusion set in after Reynolds fell and the Union lines began to break as they were pushed back through the town. By choosing to engage the Confederates at Gettysburg, Reynolds effectively determined the battle would be fought there. One of the Union army's best field commanders, John Reynolds death dealt a severe blow to the Union. The Union would however go on to win the Battle of Gettysburg and Reynolds had made the supreme sacrifice for the cause.

We wake up late. My human alarm clock has, for the first time in recent memory, slept in his own bed all night.
"Mom," Isla says from next to my bed. I rub my eyes and focus on her. "It's 7:00!"
Miles doesn't want to get up and Jonah refuses to get dressed. We hurry over bowls of cereal and the kids dawdle and I make all of their lunches even though the boys should have made their own.
"Bye, Mom!" they call as they open the front door. They are clad in black snowpants and multicolored hats and scarves. I'm in the kitchen when I hear their farewells and I panic. I haven't hugged them yet. I don't always. Today, I need to.
I wrap them up in my arms, the three of them together. I kiss the top of Miles' head, so close to my own face now – he'll be taller than me before I know it.
"I love you guys! Have a great day," I say. I don't want to let go. I do let go. They go.
They have no idea.

Last Friday, December 14, the kids were at school or daycare. I'd worked on real work for a while and then, remembering my neglected but personally valuable blog, I sat down to write a post about pull-apart rolls, the ones I make every year around Christmas-time. I'd made them for a holiday brunch at my sister's and had only a semi-decent photo of the finished product but it was so close to December 25 I figured it was the day to share.
I checked Facebook while Photoshop opened. I scrolled through photos of kids on Santa's lap and an Instagram snap of a Starbucks cup.
And then, from a friend in Connecticut, an update just before 10am about a shooting at her kids' school. Panic welled up in me but she also stated that her kids were safe. My fingers raced to type in cnn.com and I scanned the article and calmed a little as I only read that a gunman was dead.
"Just the gunman," I thought. "That's not so bad." A testament to the world we live in, perhaps, that I am relieved and not crazed over the news that one person is dead inside an elementary school.
But as the morning wore on the news got worse and worse. I caught glimpses of my friend and her two children on photos and on national video shared by other friends that they'd found online. We are not close friends, I'm not trying to co-opt her experience or make people feel bad for me by claiming I have intimate ties to this woman halfway across the country. I don't. But I know her, and just last month I included photos of her daughter meeting my daughter at Disney World two years ago in a memory book, so for me the shooting was made all more real not by being physically near Newtown but because I know a woman who lives there. Her kids go to the school.
When Columbine happened I was in college, and enough time had passed since high school that I didn't feel a visceral, personal reaction. I didn't know anyone in Colorado. It was surely as devastating but I can't remember where I was when I heard the news. When 9/11 happened I was 1700 miles away and didn't work in an office building and had never been to New York. I remember where I was, though, and I felt dread and vulnerability like nothing I'd felt before. Shock at the number of dead.
But this. These children, in the town with the zip code where my Christmas cards have been delivered. First graders, like my little Grant.
I spent almost the whole day alone. I had no spouse to turn to to be comforted, to try to sort out my feelings. It didn't feel right to call a friend about what was happening. A secret Santa dinner in the evening had me torn between wanting to sit at home and focus my prayers on the dead and the survivors and wanting to be around other living people and talk about something other than what had been lost in Connecticut and from our hearts.
We did not tell the kids. We don't have access to TV channels at home so we knew they would not hear about it accidentally at home over the weekend, and I hoped that Saturday and Sunday would dull the news a little for any other student who might learn of it and want to spread information in hushed tones on Monday. The kids walked in the door yesterday and I braced myself for questions that never came.
Now I'm left reeling, with the rest of the country, wondering when it's okay to stop thinking about those poor, innocent souls. Thinking about their fear as they faced a monster in their school is almost more than I can bear. I've had three six-year olds so far. They are small and sweet and pure. As the link that was shared en masse around Facebook and Twitter stated, "I know what six looks like."
We are left now trying to figure out what happened and why and we may never know. The randomness and brutality of the act frighten me to the point that I have to stop myself from thinking about what happened inside of that school because while I want to honor these kids' memories, the thoughts about what they experienced make my heart seize.
I can't stop thinking about my friend, her community, the parents who will never hug their children again. Did they hug them that morning before school? If they didn't, are they trying to remember the last time they held their child in their arms?
The nation is crying out, "More gun control!" or "Guns aren't the problem," depending on which part of the nation is speaking at a given moment. "More access to mental health care!" I hear repeated.
And I sit alone in my office, my children out of my sight and out of my reach, entrusted to teachers and day care providers, and I am fearful that nothing will ever be enough. That we can't stop evil where it lurks and we can't catch every deranged criminal and we can't make every gun and bomb and knife disappear, no matter the amount of gun legislation or mental health care providers or locks and buzzers on doors. My mind starts to think that perhaps some people are just bad people and no amount of laws or access to psychologists or drugs will stop them. I worry we are a society that is going to increasingly create people who are detached from death and consequences because of violence in video games and on TV, and because parents let their children grow up believing they should not have to be accountable for anything.
But I can't bow to fear. None of us should. I have to believe more light exists in the world than dark.
* * *
I've been trying to write an ending paragraph full of joy and blessings and optimistic sayings like, "Look at how good life is despite it all!" but I can't yet because I still somehow feel that to count my own blessings is to dishonor the families who are grieving. I hugged my children this morning and thought about Sandy Hook. Went to coffee with friends and we talked about Sandy Hook. Read the newspaper and page after page was Sandy Hook and I teared up and the pain was real even if it's not pain I feel for myself.
We are thinking of you, Newtown. We are thinking of you, all the other parents who've lost children to senseless violence on an all-too-often basis, even if not by mass-murderer and not to such international attention. We will move on more quickly than you will, those of us who haven't lost what you lost, those of us who didn't see what you saw. But you'll always be in our hearts. We will never forget. We will pray the world cam change.

Renczi poisoned her husbands, lovers and one son with arsenic before placing their bodies in zinc-lined coffins in her wine cellar.
Deadly Women is an American television series first aired in 2005 on the Discovery Channel, focusing on female killers.It was originally a mini-series consisting of three episodes: "Obsession," "Greed" and "Revenge".After a three-year hiatus, the show resumed production in 2008 and began airing on the Investigation Discovery channel as a regularly scheduled series.The series is produced in Australia by Beyond International.In the early 1900s, on a small farm in La Porte, Indiana, Norwegian immigrant Belle Gunness used strychnine to poison her suitors and boyfriends before feeding their remains to the hogs.
Gunness's motive was to collect life insurance, cash and other valuables from her victims.Between 19, in Windsor, Connecticut, nursing home proprietor Amy Archer-Gilligan purchased life insurance policies on her elderly residents before poisoning them with arsenic.Each of the three original episodes covered the cases of four women or more women or groups of women who were united by the central theme of the episode.This mini-series of three episodes of the show was narrated by Marsha Crenshaw.In 17th century Central Europe, Elizabeth Báthory, a Hungarian noblewoman, was obsessed with youth and beauty.According to legend, Báthory murdered as many as 650 young women, believing that drinking their blood would preserve her youth. In Romania during the 1920s and '30s, Vera Renczi's fears of infidelity and abandonment ostensibly caused her to murder the men in her life.

Coal ash roundup: Your voice is being heard (PICS) (UPDATED)
Coal ash roundup: Your voice is being heard (PICS) (UPDATED)
By Naima Pearce
UPDATE:And the voices were heard -- in great numbers. Numbers are still coming in, but 256,606 comments were sent in so far across the coalition from groups such as:
- 1Sky
- Appalachian Voices
- Physicians for Social Responsibility
- Greenpeace
- Defenders of Wildlife
- Rainforest Action Network
- Credo
Here at 1Sky, we'd like to thank everyone who wrote in and asked the EPA to take the strictest measures possible on coal ash. Thanks for stepping up to help protect our families and wildlife.
At the end of this week, the Environmental Protection Agency will close the door to public comments on regulating toxic coal ash. The ill effects from coal ash aren't in question; when the waste hits rivers, the drinking water becomes unsafe, wildlife faces immediate and toxic effects, entire communities can be poisoned. What does hang in the balance is how the EPA will react.1Sky's Garth Moore gave us a comprehensive look at the effects coal ash has on the environment and local communities. There are two courses of action for classifying coal ash, which will determine how the substance is handled and where it can be placed.
- The coal industry is pushing for the Subtitle D designation by the EPA, a classification for non-hazardous wastes. This measure would toss out many of the guidelines for how the toxic materials must be handled, leaving anyone living near coal combustion facilities vulnerable to the potential dangers. Many industry representatives cite stigma for coal ash recycled products as grounds to leave regulations at the wayside. Stigma can be overcome; the scale of health hazards and wildlife danger cannot.
- The EPA's alternative is Subtitle C -- categorizing coal ash as special waste, creating disposal standards and phasing out of waste ponds. These waste ponds gained special attention in 2008 as torrents of coal ash sludge flooded the Emory River after such a pond's wall gave way at the Kingston Fossil Plant. The toxic chemicals in ash, such as arsenic lead, mercury, barium and thallium are known to cause serious health problems -- and prove deadly after prolonged exposure.
In August, the EPA kicked off their eight city series of coal ash hearings -- and Subtitle C supporters came strong. Here are a few highlights from around the nation:
Regional organizer Micah Parkin shared his experience with us on the coal ash hearings in Denver, CO in September. This was the only EPA held hearing in the western United States, and turnout was strong. More than 250 supporters came out from 1Sky, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Colorado Interfaith Power and Light and Earth Guardians. Many gathered outside of the hearings to sign postcards and spread the message of coal ash's poisoning effects.
North Carolina
Pete Waltz, Organizing Director at the North Carolina Conservation Network reported that the rally in Charlotte was so popular, all his observations came by way of an overflow room set up for those who couldn't fit into the designated hearing room -- and there were plenty. Supporters displayed yellow "Protect Families: Clean Up Toxic Ash" badges as they made their way through a crowd.
In Louisville, they came out swinging -- literally. Greenpeace activists swung from ropes off of the Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville to hang a banner running the script "Protect people, not polluters." Kentucky is a true coal ash battleground: two coal plants are right in Louisville and another is in New Albany. Subtitle C supporters weren't deterred. Joy Futrell, a 1Sky organizer described the difference in support between C and D supporters at the hearings as pretty stark. Turn out from those supporting regulation for the toxic ash numbered in the hundreds, while only three coal industry representatives made the trip.
Tennessee, the hearing that almost wasn't
Originally, the EPA had left Tennessee of the list of hearing sites, but pressure from the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) and Senator Lamar Alexander no doubt contributed to the EPA's decision to make the date in Knoxville. With the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Fossil Plant spill fresh in everyone's minds, many took to the microphone. Cleanenergy.org reports one resident, Sarah McCoin, cautioning the EPA to let their decision be one without regret, explaining without regulations "another community will be affected as we have been."Here are some photos from our friends at the Tennessee hearing:
Even if a hearing didn't happen to your town, don't let the chance for your voice to be heard by the EPA slip away. Sign the 1Sky petition today, and help ensure that the EPA enacts the strongest possible regulation of toxic coal ash. The EPA comment period closes this Friday, November 19th at 6PM.

Barbara Stromquist
- Region: Northeast
- Position: Health Care
- Description:
I left my job in health care feeling very disillusioned and demoralized and decided to return to school to upgrade my computer skills and study business. Following sponsorship from MNBC, I enrolled in the Applied Business Technology at Northern Lights College.
The courses were stimulating and practical. My grades were excellent and I began to feel more and more confident as time passed. Upon graduating I received a job offer, (once again in health care), and began working the next business day after the final exam. The skills I gained in the ABT program have increased the responsibilities within my job, and have given me greater understanding of the working of a hospital environment. My working hours are suitable for me as a single mother and the pay is good. Most importantly, I am happy in my job and find the work very satisfying. I could not have asked for more from an educational opportunity.
Thanks to Carol and Linda for making this possible.
~ Barabara Stromquist

The Phoenix Park bridge light project is set to be unveiled Thursday, but News 18 got a sneak peek Wednesday.
It took two years of development between the city, rotary club, UW-Eau Claire, and private partners to put it all together. Once it's finished, control of the lights will be in the hands of UWEC students in the lighting design program.
"This bridge is 556 feet long, makes it one of the longest lit bridges in the country currently," said Jason John Anderson, UW-Eau Claire conferences and event production assistant director. "It has 170 unique fixtures attached to it, and those all came from Philips Color Kinetics, so they have 1.7 million color options in each individual light."
Thursday's unveiling is at 7 p.m. at the Phoenix Park footbridge. From then on, the lights will flip on at sunset and turn off at 11 p.m., they'll come on again at 5 a.m. and shut off at dawn.

Khloe Kardashian & Tristan Thompson Have Sexy Date Night: Started Babymaking?
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson could not have looked more in love when they grabbed dinner at Nobu in Malibu! She totally gazed adoringly at him and he couldn't take his eyes off her!
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson returned from their tropical vacation totally aglow with their love! The super hot couple arrived for a romantic date night at Nobu in Malibu on Saturday, June 24. Khloe was all smiles in a stunning white dress that hugged her every curve to perfection. She seemed thrilled to be back in Los Angeles. Khloe rocked sexy nude heeled sandals and a golden clutch while Tristan kept it casual. He looked relaxed in camouflage pants and a black t-shirt.
These two have been approaching their first year anniversary! They already jetted away for some alone time at an undisclosed tropical location. Khloe shared a super cute Snapchat of Tristan lounging on a pool float. She had the most adorable caption beneath her boyfriend. "He's yummy," she wrote affectionately. Tristan recently revealed that he'd want to have five or six babies with Khloe on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Are they ready to start trying to have a baby now that Tristan's basketball season ended?
Khole and Tristan reportedly have been super excited to be together almost all the time. "Now that they have a decent amount of time off, they plan to hang out with each other as much as possible," an insider close to Khloe previously told HollywoodLife.com. They reportedly have thought about starting a family. "Khloe recently came off of birth control, so don't be surprised if there's some baby making going on," the source continued. "Tristan has said he would like five or six kids with Khloe, so she really has her work cut out for her!"
HollywoodLifers, do you think Khloe and Tristan should get married?

What's Hot in Tech - October 18
This issue is a little longer than usual, but there's been a ton of great stuff in the past week so stick with me. You can do it, it's Friday! Also, I'm trying out email subscriptions for notification of when new posts go up. It's hard to catch everything floating by on Twitter and Facebook, so sign up in the right sidebar (or end of page if you're on a smartphone). If you have suggestions for features you'd like to see, please leave a comment at the end. Thank you!
Finance app Level analyzes net income, paints a picture of spendable balance
Level, a finance app for iPhone and [coming soon to] Android, links to a user's bank accounts and credit cards to analyze and calculate total income, recurring bills, and recommended savings each month. Based on a savings goal defined by the user, the app provides a spendable balance by day, week, and month to let you know how you're doing.
Foursquare pushing real-time recommendations to iPhone users
Foursquare released an update to their iPhone app which, aside from a redesigned activity feed, will start to send real-time recommendations to users for information of interest—which entrée to try at the restaurant you just walked into or which attraction to check out in the new city you're visiting. The new feature was released to select Android users this summer.
Simple showcases an easy way to payback friends
Simple, an online-only bank focused on excellent user experience through its website and mobile apps, announced a new feature coming soon called MoneyDrop. When released in a few months, MoneyDrop promises to make it easy to send payments to nearby friends by using Bluetooth to wirelessly beam money. The need to be near your recipient sounds like a disadvantage right out of the gate when compared to similar services like Venmo or PayPal which do not require proximity. Simple remains invite only, sending out "thousands" of invites each week. I have three Simple invites available; if you'd like one please leave a comment below.
Comcast looks to connect Twitter users to NBC TV shows
Twitter and Comcast signed a deal to place a "see it" button on tweets about NBC shows beginning in November. Engaging the button will provide information on the show and Comcast TV subscribers will be able to start watching the show directly from their device.
Google Maps brings back multiple destinations to its new-look service
Google Maps released a complete redesign of its service earlier this year and in the process lost one of users' favorite features: multiple destinations for directions. The most-requested feature is back! When getting directions, find the '+' button to add additional stops along your route.
Comedian Louis C.K. is handling his own digital distribution once again
Louis C.K. shook up the entertainment distribution model in late 2011 when he started selling his show, Louis C.K. Live at the Beacon Theatre, directly to fans through his website. The comedian is at it again, this time making his HBO comedy special Oh My God available for download on his website for $5. Fans can download multiple formats of video and audio or stream the content up to two times.
CoverPay lets users pay and split bills at restaurants
CoverPay for iPhone and [coming soon to] Android lets users pay for and split bills with friends at restaurants without ever pulling out a credit card or fumbling with cash. Upon arriving at the restaurant users can either create or join a table in the app, notify their server they're paying with Cover, and the server takes care of the rest. Users can define the tip percentage in the app. Cover is available for use at select restaurants in Manhattan for the time being.
CityMapper app combines maps, transit, bike share, and more for NYC
CityMapper started as a travel app for navigating London but has just released an update to include New York City. The app is available for iOS with an Android version coming soon. CityMapper for New York provides subway maps; subway line statuses; and directions via subway, bus, bike, taxi, and even teleporter. No joke, the teleporter is awesomely whacky and features Mayor Mike Bloomberg—check it out.
The app provides a lot of information in a smart way like showing nearest subway and bus stations based on walking distance, providing the most efficient or most quiet/scenic bike routes, showing nearest CitiBike stations and their availability, and using Foursquare for points of interest if you're looking for directions to a restaurant, etc.
Next Apple event announced, expectations include iPad and iPad Mini
Apple sent out invites for a press event on Tuesday, October 22nd. Expectations for the event include the announcement of a 5th-generation iPad featuring a thinner and lighter body and improved camera and a 2nd-generation iPad Mini with a retina display and faster technology inside. We may also see a fingerprint scanner added to iPads much like that on the iPhone 5s (more on iPhone fingerprint scanner). A release date for new iPads is unknown but would likely fall a few weeks later.
Physical storage market heats up in New York
Space in New York City apartments is limited and there are things we don't often need access to, but don't want to throw away. There are the traditional storage companies, which merely provide storage units of varying sizes, but in addition to the monthly cost don't forget to factor in your time moving your stuff and paying for the cab or rental car.
Enter MakeSpace and Boxbee, two companies who have spotted an opportunity to provide what some are calling a "Dropbox for real-life storage". Both companies drop off rigid plastic bins for you to fill with items for storage, this included in the monthly storage cost. When you're ready, each company returns to pick up the bins for free and catalog what's inside so you can browse your bins' contents through their websites. At any time, you may ask for one or more of your bins to be delivered if you need something inside. Bin retrieval costs a flat $29 with MakeSpace and $15 + $2 per bin with Boxbee. These services are aimed at those needing occasional access to things like switching out summer and winter wardrobes, otherwise retrieval can get expensive. MakeSpace's monthly storage cost is $25 / month for 6 bins while Boxbee's monthly cost is unclear.
Nike announces next version of Fuelband
The fitness/activity tracking gadget space is hot right now and quickly becoming crowded with the likes of the Nike FuelBand, Jawbone UP, Fitbit, Basis, and more. Nike was on the leading edge of the market when, in early 2012, it released the FuelBand—a bracelet that measures everyday activity, calories burned, distance traveled, provides the time, and features a sexy LED display. Since its release, Jawbone, Fitbit, and Basis have all come on the scene with their own impressive products.
Nike announced the second version of its Fuelband line, the Fuelband SE, which will come in an array of accent colors (yellow, pink, red) perking up an otherwise black band. Fuelband SE also packs the latest in Bluetooth technology (Bluetooth 4.0), allowing smartphones to be in constant communication with the band without draining battery. The result is real-time tracking of activity throughout your day, periodic reminders via smartphone notification if you haven't moved much recently, and no need to pair your Fuelband with your smartphone to synchronize data. The Fuelband SE also allows the wearer to double-tap its lone button to display the time, something that requires up to four button presses on the original Fuelband.
In the end, buyers of the Fuelband SE receive fun accent color options, real-time data, and eased access to the time of day. For an owner of the original Fuelband (myself included), I wouldn't say this is worth upgrading. If you haven't owned a Fuelband yet, the SE model is definitely a gadget to look at. The Fuelband SE will be released November 6 for $149.
Flickr adds auto-upload feature to app, will improve photo presentation on Flickr.com
Flickr continues its rebirth, which started with an all-new website and app design earlier this year, with an update to its iPhone app now featuring automatic photo uploads and, on the Flickr website, a redesign of individual photo pages. Automatic uploads of photos require no interaction from the user as it's done behind the scenes when on wifi, reducing the time it takes to share photos with others when you're ready to do so. The redesign of individual photo pages on Flickr.com increases photo size 25% and will move comments, tags, recommendations, and camera information to the right of the photo. The result will be a greater focus on the image while taking advantage of screen real estate. The app update is available now while the new photo pages will roll out later this year.

We consider a spatio-temporal model to describe the spread of the
Neolithic across Europe. The arrival time of farming at a collection
of radiocarbon-dated sites is modelled by a numerical solution to an
advancing wavefront model. Our solution allows for uncertainty in the
radiocarbon data, lack-of-fit from the deterministic model and uses a
spatial Gaussian process to smooth over any locally geographic
anomalies in the data. The analysis makes inferences for the
parameters of the wavefront model by using fast Gaussian
process emulator approximations to the wavefront model at each
site, and gives insights into the importance of spatial scale.

Title of Bulletin Board: What it Takes, To Get In The Zone
Category: Fitness Assessments
Suggested Grade Level: 4-12
Materials: bulitin board paper, markers, FitnessGram book, paper
This board has been great in my class to help kids know what goals to set to achieve at least one of several healthy Fitness Zones. Posting the FitnessGram test also helps students focus on what to achieve. Helpful as well is to have these goals posted so that students do not ask me repeatedly what they should try to achieve. They love to run over and look at it. The FitnessGram scores were derived from the FitnessGram book.

So, Kelly and I got engaged officially on Thursday.
I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story. It seems like there are a bunch of different angles I could take.
I could explain all of the events (and lack of events) between now and talking to Kelly's dad back in April, but I'm afraid that if I talk about how long we've been planning on this it will make it hard to tell how long I've been hoping for it.
Of course, I could just write about how we struggled to find a ring and make plans that we felt good about, but it would probably end up sounding like a political post instead of a story of growing and learning together, so I think I'll save that for a different blog.
Instead, maybe I could write about how I bought the ring as soon as we settled on a design. But then, I'm not exactly sure I could write about a commercial purchase and still explain how I did it because I was so excited to marry Kelly.
It might be fun to tell about how I tried so hard to keep the purchase a secret from Kelly, and how I enlisted help from her friends and made a front like I wasn't sure I could afford it yet. Although, that secret ended up being kind of stressful since it took almost twice as long as anticipated to have the ring made. I guess that's still the wrong focus.
I guess I could just write about the proposal itself, and about taking Kelly on a hike in the mountains on a trail that was special to us, and about kneeling next to each other in the forest as I proposed. But I'm not sure I can really tell that story without recounting what I said to Kelly about how much I love her and want to be with her. So I'll probably have to leave that out so I don't embarrass myself.
Well, I'm all out of ideas, and I still don't have anything to write about. I hope people will understand how lucky and in love and loved I feel, even if I don't know what to write to explain it.

I have been working on a series of messages for an upcoming retreat. The theme is "Grace Overshadows Shame….always." I picked four characters in the New Testament who were deeply touched with Jesus' grace. I have four objects in which the attenders will use to do exercises helping them connect more with their shame and His grace. They say the hardest 18 inches to travel is fro the head to the heart. I am trusting these as bridges to assist people there.
What I am talking about here is process beyond content driven learning. How to get them out of their heads and into the pit of their stomachs. The church is over saturated with content work (listening to sermons, memorizing scriptures, reading, group discussions). Content work is head work and in danger of neglecting heart (emotions, passions, resolve, grief, repentance). The art of helping people move in process is daring if truly taken seriously. The word process often is used merely as discussing something. That's not what I am taking about here. True process is wild, deep and beyond head stuff.
Each one of these activities has come to me when I am in prayer and preparing for talks. They are not things I have found in books. Sometimes…I take that back. Many times I am afraid to do this. Content based teaching/preaching is so much safer. I am so much more in control. Letting go of control and trusting in the process of the work directed by the activity and the Spirit of God, is a huge step. But I am reminded then so much that I want to be this kind of teacher, in this place of wildness and surrender.
I will explain these exercises in my next post after I come back from leading the retreat. I want it to be a surprise to the attenders. For now list the title and a picture of what I will have them use in each workshop.

Review: The Amber Spyglass
The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Overall "Amber Spyglass" is a fitting but anticlimactic ending to the "His Dark Materials" series. If you've read the first two books and enjoyed them, you'll probably find the third book worthwhile, but disappointing.
The theme of the third book is that an afterlife isn't necessary for people to have comfort and to be motivated to improve the world that we live in. I think it's actually pretty brilliant how Pullman takes all of his various plot lines and ties them back to this point. The more I think about it the more I realize how well the ideas of the book fit together into this cohesive message of hope that didn't depend on an afterlife.
While I personally find my faith in an afterlife very comforting, I don't begrudge comfort to those that need to find it another way. More importantly for me, I think that the tangential ideas of moving on after a tragedy and of making the world better in this life are things that are moving and meaningful to theist and atheists alike.
Pullman is actually pretty gentle with this message, building it slowly through multiple pieces, instead of throwing it in your face. Of the three books in this series, it's definitely the second book that has the most potential to be offensive to Christians. If you were able to get through the second book without getting upset, then you won't be troubled by this final book.
While I don't think you'll need to worry about being offended by the book, you may need to worry about being bored.
As the story progresses more characters and fantasy worlds keep being introduced. The new characters and settings just aren't as engaging as the originals, so there are long sections where I felt bored because I didn't really care about what was going on in that section. Not only that, but the new worlds and characters are so varied that it starts feeling very incohesive, and to me the previous atmosphere of the setting gets lost in the circus of the new settings.
The pace is also much slower and more dragged out. There were multiple points in the book where I thought "ok, now the story's resolved", or "ok, this time it's really over", only to find that I wasn't yet near the end. It was kind of hard to keep going when I felt like the conflict was over and there was nothing left to resolve.
In the end I'm glad to have read the whole thing because of how well all of the pieces fit together when it was done. I do wish it'd been as engaging and entertaining as his other books instead of being a chore to finish.

Olivia Newton John
Count Basie Theater
Red Bank, NJ - April 12, 2017
- Dennis Morgillo
Red Bank, NJ -
The Count Basie was packed with fans young and old. Olivia Newton John is the nicest woman in show business, and the fans love her.
Olivia opened the show with 'Magic'. She looked beautiful and sang like an Angel. Her voice was just as wonderful as it was back in the 1970's.
Olivia took us on a musical journey throughout her amazing career. 'Xanadu', 'Lets Get Physical' , and a medley of country hits. 'Please Mr. Please', 'Let Me Be There', 'Jolene' and 'Have You Never Been Mellow'. Olivia performed 'The Dolphin Song' and of course there was 'Grease'.
Next year is the 40th anniversary of 'Grease' , and women of every age have a personal connection to the movie and 'Sandy'. There was a young girl in the audience waving her Sandy doll. There were teens, all the way up to matures singing and dancing to these Grease classics. 'Hopelessly Devoted To You', 'Summer Nights', 'You're The One That I Want', and 'We Go Together'.
Olivia closed the show with the Beautiful 'Grace and Gratitude' off of her latest 'LIV ON' album. For the first encore Olivia did a beautiful rendition of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' with just her and the piano. Then for the second and final encore Olivia performed 'I Honestly Love You'. It was the highlight for me. (I was not crying, I had something in my eye).
It was truly a wonderful night. Olivia is an international treasure and has given us all so many beautiful memories. It was an honor to cover the concert.

It is no secret that Red Velvet Vintage on Main is my favorite vintage gem and as you all know the sudden loss of my baby brother has sent our family, especially my mother, into a spiraling, world wind of emotions. My sister and I wanted to do something fun with our mom but didn't know what activity wouldn't emphasis the sickening fact that my brother is missing from our sibling trio. Amanda Hill of Memphis Bombshells had the perfect solution to put a smile on my mother's face and Red Velvet had the perfect attire!
The one thing that my brother would have refused to be a part of even if he was still here with us, PIN-UP! It's totally a girl thing and a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. First, we had to find the perfect outfit.
My mom and sis had never done pinup before and honestly, I don't think they have ever thought about it. But I assured them, pin up is for everyone!
My sweet friend Vera, vintage stylist at Red Velvet, poured us a little gin and began her retro transformation on a couple of 2015 modern gals.
It was so much fun watching my sister wear something other than her regular jeans and t-shirt. My sister is a super busy mom, former general contractor and now a student in the police academy. She rarely has time for shopping, especially 1950's threads. She made the transformation into a retro doll perfectly.
Of course, I quickly found the beautiful selection of vintage lip rouge and began playing around with all of the red hued lipsticks. You all know I am a sucker for makeup, let alone RED LIPSTICK!
Of course we did bring along one little guy who seemed quite happy watching us play. After all, he has to learn the business and what better way to learn excellent customer service than to observe Vera's outstanding, friendly service style!
Now, you will have to wait until Mother's Day to see what all we got! Check out tomorrow's Mother's Day post to see +Red Velvet Vintage's style picks and +Memphis Bombshells' mother daughter pinup experience.

Current, former US officials detail Russian cyberattacks
The overlapping House and Senate hearings were held amid questions about President Donald Trump's stance on Russia's election interference and whether he believes it occurred at all . This allows the federal government to give more security help to state and local election offices. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday refused to say whether Mr Trump believes Russian Federation interfered in the 2016 election .
